The Tomb of Benei Hezir is located in the Valley of Jehoshaphat situated directly between the Old City and the Mount of Olives. It is just next to the Tomb of Zechariah.
This is the oldest of the monumental tombs at this location dating back to the time of the Second Temple. What you will see is a Greek like facade with two columns cut into the rock. The burial complex is behind the facade and is believed to be where the Priestly Benei Hezir family members were buried.
You can walk up close to the Tomb of Benei Hezir. Alternatively, you can see the monument quite well from the roadside just outside the Old City. Walk along Maale Ha-Shalom on the valley side of the road until you are just above the tomb. Here you will find a viewpoint, with layout map and audio machine that is well worth listening to while viewing the monuments below.

Saw this as we walked down to these old tombs. Need to grab a guide in English as none of the story boards contain are written in English.
